Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area
8930 Canyon Road,
Lumpkin,
Georgia 31815
We spent a few hours in the canyons, hiking through each of the nine canyons. The "trails" are actually creek beds, some muddy and others very sanding. As long as you don't mind dirty and possibly wet shoes, it is a wonderful outing. The varied rock formations are fascinating even for kids. The canyon hikes do involve a lot of walking and definitely are not stroller accessible. We did not do the rim hike.

Florence Marina State Park
218 Florence Road,
Omaha,
Georgia 31821
The weekend we camped here, the campground was empty, but I suspect that is not always the case! There's mini-golf, boat rentals, a museum/interpretive center, fishing and more. Right on "Lake Eufala", I never knew the correct time as my phone was connecting with a tower across the river in Alabama. The campground was lovely with Spanish moss draped on the trees and owl serenading us. The proximity to Providence Canyon is a huge plus, too.

Callaway Gardens
17800 US Hwy 27,
Pine Mountain,
Georgia 31822
Despite having lived in Georgia for almost 13 years, we had never been to visit Callaway Gardens. When I learned that admission is free in January and February we took a little road trip down to visit. Unfortunately for my youngest, the height minimum on Treetop Adventures is 54 inches, so we were not able to check that out. We did go to a Birds of Prey show featuring owls that was informative and quite entertaining as well. The butterfly garden was neat, but not too different from the others we've been to. The grounds look like a lovely place to ride bikes and explore on warmer days.

F.D. Roosevelt State Park
2970 Ga. Highway 190,
Pine Mountain,
Georgia 31822
We spent two nights camping at FDR State Park. The campground is a wonderful place for kids to ride bikes, play and explore. The park is ideally located near Callaway Gardens. The large park also has lots of trails, a pool, horseback riding, boat rentals and more. There is also lots of special programming available at the park.

Roosevelt's Little White House Historic Site
401 Little White House Rd,
Warm Springs,
Georgia
"Interesting to School-Aged Kids"
On a weekend trip to Pine Mountain, GA, we were excited to learn about and get to see FDR's Little White House in Warm Springs, GA. Our Georgia State Parks pass got us in for free, which is always nice! My 9yo was handed a scavenger hunt to complete; this kept her engaged and interested for our entire visit. The movie was informative and the displays in the museum were very well done. The kids enjoyed the outdoor areas and also the walks through the various original buildings. We did not have a chance to see the pools in Warm Springs (not on the property but in town), but I hope we will next time.
